About this listen
Three lives. One man.
Christopher Marlowe was the first rock star poet, a spy, an atheist, a gay rebel whose controversial plays thrilled audiences and challenged the government.
Christopher Wild is Kathe Koja’s new novel, a daring remix of eras - the glitter and threat of Elizabethan England, a grimy mid-20th century, and a dark near-future of constant surveillance - as Marlowe loves and fights and writes his way through every dangerous age.
Kathe Koja’s books include Under the Poppy, The Bastards' Paradise, The Cipher and Skin; her young adult novels include Buddha Boy, Talk and Kissing the Bee. Her work has been honored by the ALA, the ASPCA and with the Bram Stoker Award. Her books have been published in seven languages and optioned for film. She’s a Detroit native and lives in the area with her husband, artist Rick Lieder. She also runs Loudermilk Productions, creating site-specific immersive events including performances of Faustus and her own adaptation of Under the Poppy.

"Few writers have the brilliance and versatility of Koja." (Cory Doctorow, author of Walkaway)
"Kathe Koja illuminates how the raw and vital essence of Marlowe has persisted down the centuries." (Sarah Miller, author of Caroline)
"In Christopher Wild, Koja has done more than re-imagine Marlowe - she has channeled him, wholly, ferociously, onto the page. Transcendent, essential, Christopher Wild is Kit. The king is dead: Long live the king." (Maryse Meijer, author of Heartbreaker)
